Forest Melody
05:17
|
|||
The shadows grow long and the trees grow tall as we make our way through a forest of old
We wander the path with instinct our guide
Darkness surrounds we begin to lose sight
We commit to go beyond whats known
Compelled from within, our fate is sown
Oh the shadows grow long and our memories thin as the trees start to spin
Our feet leave the ground, the darkness recedes and we hear a faint sound
Round and round the forest spins as we go into the dark within
Fight or flight, die tonight, with spirits we'll dance tonight
Lose yourself as the past begins to blur between the trees
The forest melody dances with the leaves
Free your heart, free your mind, there's nothing ahead nothing behind
Deep within the forest of old, we lost our way, we lost our souls
Unknown the ages pass us by, the forest is void of time
Trees stretch across our minds, our thoughts entangled in the endless vines
Rotten from within, they die
Stars pierce the canopy
Rivers gleam in the light
Madness takes over as we
Fly through the green twilight
Elation twists into fear
Memories fall with the leaves
How did we end up here
What are we to believe
Lose yourself as the past begins to blur between the trees
The forest melody dances with the leaves
Free your heart, free your mind, there's nothing ahead nothing behind
Deep within the forest of old, we lost our way, we lost our souls
Awaken from the living dream
Visions linger in your mind
A forest outside of reason
Were we ever inside\
Ages ago it seems
Since we bathed in the light
Spirits echo in our dreams
Were we every truly alive
Lose yourself as the past begins to blur between the trees
The forest melody dances with the leaves
Free your heart, free your mind, there's nothing ahead nothing behind
Deep within the forest of old, we lost our way, we lost our souls

Words of Fate
06:35
|
|||
Sharp is the axe that cleaves the oak
Long is the sword that kills our foes
High is the smoke that rises tonight
Heavy is the hammer that forges the soul
Mirror of the lake, reflect the stars
Show us the path to take, to lands afar
Written in the void above, etched in the stone below
Legends of our ancestors in the wars of old
Words of fate
Guide you to the end
Through deaths gate
Ride with fury in hand
Though we may fall
In song we live on
To the end of our world
Our souls have gone
Hard is the path through the falling snow
Dark is the sky in a land so cold
Loud is the roar from the frozen wind
Silent is the soul dying from within
Through the frozen waste, to the touch of the sea
Stars guide us through the mountains, to the highest peak
Clouds drift in a sea below where war awaits
Descend now into the storm of snow where we meet our fate
Ready the spear for one last throw
Hone the sword for the final blow
Darkness swallows the burning sun
Prepare now to ride into oblivion
Voice of the olden king
Grant us fire, give us strength
Charge into the slaughtering
Tide of death, blood red sea
Last hour of the failing light
Ride for death in the endless night
Fire of this burning soul
Only in death are we immortal
Words of fate
Guide you to the end
Through deaths gate
Ride with fury in hand
Though we may fall
In song we live on
To the end of our world
Our souls have gone

Ocean's Dream
05:11
|
|||
Tattered sails emerge at the edge of the world
Taut with the wind as the storm begins to surge
Forty guns glint from lightning on high
The thunder of the cannons rhymes with the sky
Oh the chain shot rips through them all
No mercy the captain calls
Prepare to be reclaimed by the sea
Death awaits the unworthy
With cannons we carve our way to hell
We ride to death on the oceans swell
Feel the cold embrace of the merciless sea
Sail into the nightmare of the oceans dream
Swords paint blood and lead meets skulls
The thrill of death worth ones weight in gold
Origin unknown, those cursed by the depths
Storm across the sea bringing apocalypse
Oh the guns at the crescendo
A thousand souls sink below
Our lives just a drop in the sea
Escape from the eternal insanity
World of water and sand
Death rides on the wind
Salt burns in the wound
Blood rains the monsoon
Deeper into the abyss
Waters pull me below
Sink this anchor
What is left of this empty soul
With cannons we carve our way to hell
We ride to death on the oceans swell
Feel the cold embrace of the merciless sea
Sail into the nightmare of the oceans dream
Far away where hell meets the sea
Where the waves crush you for eternity
You search for relief in an endless sea
As you sink into the oceans dream
Deeper into the abyss
Waters pull me below
Sink this anchor
What is left
What is left of this empty soul

A Swamp Story
05:15
|
|||
Far beyond the vale, under black skies
Something lurks below and it rises with the tide
The moon hangs low, the swamp becomes alive
Something lurks below, you walk to your demise
Dormant the morass lies waiting in the void
Now found by the those in search of the untold
The evil that sleeps, the beast of underneath
Stirs in delight with the coming of night
In the vast unknown, a forgotten realm
A wanderer will find an eternal home
An abysmal grave amongst the decay
The swamp no longer sleeps, only the willow weeps
Far beyond the vale, under black skies
Something lurks below and it rises with the tide
The moon hangs low, the swamp becomes alive
Something lurks below, you walk to your demise
In the diminished light on the trail of the bold
Wretchedness pursues the wanderer through the fold
The roots pull from the earth, in terror he cries aloud
Only agony is found in the dark underground
Light begins to fade
Hope sinks into the murk
Pulled underneath
Mind already decayed
Part of the land
Swallowed, entombed
Something draws near
Make a final stand
Sink into this wasted land
Tangled in your own mind
Roots of life, ropes of death
On the edge of sanity you stand
Ignite your rage, resist the fear
Take in your final breath
Fight the beast, is it real
Impale the heart with the spear
Far beyond the vale, under black skies
Something lurks below and it rises with the tide
The moon hangs low, the swamp becomes alive
Something lurks below, you walk to your demise

Thousand Wolves
05:46
|
|||
Alone he dwells among the pines
Searching for solace, another life
Orange of the fire calms the mind
Shadows of the night linger behind
Stranger now to the world of man
The wild calls to his long lost soul
Presence is felt in the trees
To this place they are summoning
Feel the call of the amber eyes
The hunt has begun, the sun will not rise
Hear the howl of a thousand wolves
The wilderness calls and the raven cries
Peering out into the black
Eyes stare back from the in-between
Crawling forward silent in step
Wolves unnumbered encircling
Though it seems of ill intent
Something else draws them in
Feeling of wonder, no regret
Humanity fades as wolves dream
Feel the call of the amber eyes
The hunt has begun, the sun will not rise
Hear the howl of a thousand wolves
The wilderness calls and the raven cries
Howl for the waning light as humanity slips out of sight
Fall to the wild spell as the chorus begins to swell
Claw at the calling earth, cycle of death and rebirth
Hearken to the vast unknown where a thousand wolves roam
By way of the crescent glow
Beneath the withering oaks
Ghost of the trees, spoken prophecy
Born again to wander free
Omen of death, visage of fear
Roam through unnumbered years
Thrill of the hunt, the eternal pursuit
Free in the realm of a thousand wolves

Master of None
05:24
|
|||
Honor to thee one with the wind
Sword in hand, one who's free
Master of none wander the world
Rise with the moon, set with the sun
Across endless sands he wanders a wraith in the desert wind
Ageless and eternal, among the living, a myth
Awaiting for those worthy, his power is a curse
For those who dare challenge, summon him with this verse
Honor to thee one with the wind
Sword in hand, one who's free
Master of none wander the world
Rise with the moon, set with the sun
A warrior of the living, one raised by the sword
Dreams of a wandering spirit and hears the echoing words
Determined to seek glory, destined for doom
A warrior seeks the ghost across the endless dunes
Searching the wastes of a bygone age
The sands of time still seethe with rage
Far across the sand where no one roams
A warrior calls and the wind, it groans
Words of old linger in the wind
From the realm of death a spirit ascends
Risen from the sands to fight again
Death will claim the lesser swordsman
Clash of steel
Sparks fly high
Ancient metal
Strikes tonight
Blood soaks sand
The wraith feels the edge
Swords trade blows
The warrior keeps his head
Fate is sown
Stars align
The wraith sinks below
And awakens inside
One who seeks
Will now be sought
By way of blade
A new master wrought
Honor to thee
One who stills stands
Now forever cursed
To roam the sands
Until another comes
Wander the world
They will come for glory
To claim your sword

The Ritual
05:11
|
|||
Cold mist settles over cursed ground
Torches dance in hands of the depraved
The lifeless form stirs amidst the fire
A spell is called to recreate the unmade
Restless the wolves cry to the starlit sky
Moonlight flickers through smoke and mist
The maker watched with eager eyes
Hollow stone echoes into the night
Your spirit leaves but again you rise
Beyond the void the call beckons aloud
The harvester breaks the chains of death
Returned to a world you used to know
The ritual complete, vengeance you sow
Deathless we rise before the rituals cries
Torchlight drowns in endless black
The maker flees from demise
Broken stone rains from the sundered sky
There is no escape, death comes for us tonight
Born into the night
Risen to kill the light
Thoughts from the other side penetrate the mind
Terror we must face, undeath makes haste
Conception of absurdity, oh madness, the irony
Horrors that we bred from our agony
Moonlight flickers through smoke and mist
The maker watched with eager eyes
Hollow stone echoes into the night
Your spirit leaves but again you rise
Torchlight drowns in endless black
The maker flees from demise
Broken stone rains from the sundered sky
There is no escape, death comes for us tonight

Mist and Myth
09:22
|
|||
Silhouettes of shapeless forms
Move through the mist of an obscure world
Out of reach, intangible
Figures drift in the cryptic swirl
Gravitate from sanity
Truths lost in forgotten dreams
Walk in the steps of a memory
Across the void in the cosmic stream
Light of stars in an ageless sky
Timeworn stone of the mountainside
Passed through words of countless lives
Legends erode and heroes die
Eclipse and haze obscure the truth
Ancient forms amidst vine and root
In the shadow of the great monolith
Lost in a realm of mist and myth
Stories speak of the cost of sin
An omen warns of a world undone
Madness plagues the minds of men
Ominous clouds block the sun
Conjurings of the paranoid
Crawl forth from the depths
Voices that reach from beyond the void
Steer the blind with fictive steps
Alas we reach the end of days
Do the divine stir the haze
Beckon for the sky to make a sound
Die as truth crumbles to the cursed ground
Hear the voice that whispers in rivers and streams
Gaze beyond the void for the truths unseen
Drift through the mist of the aberrant dream
Walk in the myth lost to memory
In the deepest sleep, the darkest dream
Beyond that which can be seen
What is death but another sleep
Life just a drop in a celestial sea
Harvest of consciousness, forever reaped
Pattern Repeating for infinity
Light of stars in an ageless sky
Timeworn stone of the mountainside
Passed through words of countless lives
Legends erode and heroes die
Eclipse and haze obscure the truth
Ancient forms amidst vine and root
In the shadow of the great monolith
Lost in a realm of mist and myth
At the edge of all hope
The precipice of doom
Dare to tempt fate
Before all is consumed
Alas we reach the end of days
Do the divine stir the haze?
Beckon for the sky to make a sound
Die as truth crumbles to the cursed
Ground
As the dark waters rise
Ascend to the truth or drown in lies
When the sky starts to fall
Will the gods hear your call
As the stars begin to fade
All is ruin, death, decayed
As the mist begins to wane
Only in myth shall we remain
Only in myth shall we remain
Only in myth shall we remain
Only in myth shall we remain
Only in myth shall we remain
